Linear Vs Exponential Motion?

I am controlling my B9 robot (i.e. The G-Bot) using a Sabertooth 2x25 with EZB v3. Is there a way to set the Sabertooth or EZB so my robot's motion is gradual (maybe exponential vs linear)? The G-Bot will have a rather high center of gravity when fully assembled and the way the lower half is buzzing around in my garage it would've been on its side...

Let me start by saying that this is the part of robotics that I am very weak in. I am going to be asking some questions that are probably very simple and I know that there will be multiple answers to solve this, as there is always multiple ways to solve something in this craft.

V4 Always Disconnects When Adding A Dc-Ss503v100 Compass

The V4 always disconnects when adding the compass, adding the compass via the ARC or by accessing with a i2CWrite or i2Cread from a script. Same on all three i2C ports. Am connected to the 3.3v on the ss503 , have 20k pull ups on scl and sca and the wire length is @ 2cm. The only way to re-establish the connection is to cycle the power on the V4....
